Freeze coming...fried green tomatoes anybody??

You have to look on Facebook to see my counter covered with 50 pounds of green tomatoes!!  I did a lousy job on my tomatoes this year due to the rush to get them planted outside in July (way too cold in June) and the new greenhouse still being added to the schedule!!  I can't wait to see how well they do next year!!  The tomatoes did not do well in the peak season in the new greenhouse so I am going to put babies out in July in the new greenhouse and so they are just producing in October, and hopefully will pull us through until late December next year!!  We will see how far we can push it with the new greenhouse.  We do have a few plants in the greenhouses, but not a lot.  We should pull a few pounds a week, but not much.  The old greenhouse tomatoes did well in the center of the greenhouse so that is where they will all go next year twined up to the top purlin.  They are all over the place now, but I stretched one up and it would have almost hit the 12 foot peak!  The one thing I did discover is the bees would not go in the greenhouses during the peak temps, but now that it has been a nice and cozy 80-85 that is where they all have been!  Well hopefully 10 or 20 pounds of these wil ripen, but the rest are either for fried green tomatoes or to the chickens and pigs who always greatly appreciate the garden gifts!!
